more or less understand wot yer sayin mate - thanx well good explanation

rite this wot i have

interface with 8 inputs... barig in mind i need 2 inputs for my speakers

acid bassline with 1 output

dave smith mopho with 2 outputs

mbase with 1 out put

t-resonator with 2 outputs (but tht wont be goin directly in2 the interface)

vermona with L+R master output plus 8 individual outputs

in an ideal world i would luv to have another interface to have everything connected at the same time (the 8 individual outs of the vermona) but tht will need to wait for now

ive got room for everythin if i use the mono outputs from the machines so all is ok for now but thanx for the explanation

wot is the SPDIF inputs/outputs used for on the interface?
